tableView tap event - too hard ?

Hi,

I get complaints from my users that a tap on a row in a tableView is just too hard to get right.

Often people needs to tap 2 or 3 times before they get it.

Anybody have som good tips how to make the UX better for my users ?

Began/ended events are probably the way to go, but how to implement it so i wont get to many false clicks when users scroll, rest their fingers etc.

regards

Hi @thassman,

In recent builds, we added the set-able “rowTouchDelay” property, which specifies the time in milliseconds until the touch is propagated. You might want to experiment with this and see what value works “better” for your users.

I had the same problem. I check whether it was a ‘tap’ or a ‘touch with movement’. If it is a ‘touch with movement’, it will not select the item and pass the ‘focus’ to the scroll.

2 listeners in this case. Anyway, i moved it from tableView to scrollView when i implemented it.
